Are the master and subagent running on the same system, or on different
boxes?    You can only use the default AgentX socket where everything
is running on the same box - named sockets don't work over the network.

For a multi-host AgentX configuration, please see the FAQ entries:
     Can I use AgentX when running under Windows?
          [Probably not the most helpful title, but trust me!]
         http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ:Agent_11
and
     How can I run AgentX with a different socket address?
